[ale] Singapore Linux Conference 2001

[Sanjeev Gupta]

(For some of you out-of-town ALE'ers, or those who would rather be: -Eric)

Dear Sir,

I would appreciate your circulating the message below on your mailing list.
The SLC, first held in 1999, is organised by the Linux Users' Group
(Singapore), in collaboration with IDG, which runs LinuxWorld Expo.

Last year, some of our speakers included Mr Robert Young, Red Hat;
Mr Robert Chassell, Free Software Foundation; Mr Theodore T'so, IETF; Chip
Salzenberg, OSI; as well as senior staff from IBM, SGI, and Intel.  We
also conducted Tutorials on Samba and Perl Extensions, among others.

We typically aim for two tracks, Business and Technical, with some
Speakers having slots that cut accross both.  This year, I also hope to
organise a Debian BoF meet.
